Daris Akers doesn’t need a costume for Halloween. He just takes his shirt of and goes as Captain Batman.
Hello my name is Daris Akers and I decided (& did) to get these particular tattoos back in 2004 . I wanted a full body suit that fit my taste and seeing as my taste are of the comicbook culture it fit like a glove although I’ve gotten work done by many artists, my primary artist is a man by the name of charile in nyc. my back took two sessions, 7 hours total, and I saw it as a great way to bring marvel & DC together.

ThinkGeek has unveiled new and improved versions of its officially licensed Boba Fett and Captain America hoodies. Unlike the previous versions which featured details printed on plastisol, most of the details in these updates are embroidered.

News and images are pouring out of set of The Avengers in Cleveland. Yesterday brought us pictures of Chris Evans in a new Captain America costume. The version used in Captain America: The First Avenger was dated for the 1940s era, and the Cap is in modern times now. The overall look is similar, but it looks more sleek.
Pictures aren’t all that have showed up on the internet. Watch a Captain America fight scene filmed by a passerby on set after the break. Yes, there are spoilers.
